Variability and stability in blazar jets on time scales of years: Optical polarization monitoring of OJ287 in 2005-2009
C. Villforth, K. Nilsson, J. Heidt +45
(Abridged) OJ287 is a BL Lac object that has shown double-peaked bursts at regular intervals of ~12 yr during the last ~40 yr. We analyse optical photopolarimetric monitoring data…

The Host Galaxy of 3C 279
K. Nilsson, T. Pursimo, C. Villforth +2
We have obtained a deep i-band image of the blazar 3C 279 while the target was in a low optical state. Due to the faintness of the optical nucleus we have made the first detection…

Intranight polarization variability in radio-loud and radio-quiet AGN
C. Villforth, K. Nilsson, R. Ostensen +3
(Abriged) Intranight polarization variability in AGN has not been studied extensively so far. Studying the variability in polarization makes it possibly to distinguish between diff…
